Thread Lift Treatment in Chandigarh

A gentle thread lift treatment is particularly recommended for women aged anywhere between 35 to 80 years. Ideally, men or women who are in their late 30s and early 50s can benefit most from a thread lift. Those who have crossed their mid-age will find facelift surgery more beneficial.

Generally, it does not hurt. The treatment is performed under local or regional anesthesia to ensure the comfort of the patient throughout the procedure. It is expected to feel some soreness, pain, and discomfort after the treatment which can be resolved by the application of cooling pads onto the treatment site at specific intervals or by taking any prescribed analgesic. On the first day after the treatment, cooling pads must be applied for 20 minutes every hour.

The answer to this will be discussed by the cosmetic doctor in detail with you during the initial consultation. This even depends upon the type of treatment.

The success of the thread lift depends upon the degree of severity of the skin concern. If there is mild sagging skin, small noticeable successes are possible after the first treatment. Some combination treatments that need different thread guides may require smaller fixations with sutures or staples in the hairy portion of the head.

Immediately following thread lifting, there may be mild pain or discomfort, but this subsides in 3-7 days. Additionally, following the treatment, swelling, bruising, and infections can occur. These side effects vary among patients and are usually rare.

It is very uncommon to experience thread lift complications. However, in exceptional cases, the possible complications include:

• Wound infections (rare)
• Keloids or scar growths
• Thromboses and embolisms
• Severe bleeding (very rare)
• Fistulas and abscesses, pain on and behind the ears, or sensory disturbances (rare)
• Narcotic risks (if a smoker)
• Delayed healing of wounds (rare)

Thread lifting is found to be unsuccessful for pregnant and breastfeeding women and patients having:

• Haemophilia
• Keloids predisposition
• Active acne or skin infection
• Hepatitis B and C or HIV
• Porphyria
• Collagen-vascular disease (collagenosis)
• Autoimmune diseases such as sarcoidosis, scleroderma, amyloidosis, etc.
• Blood thinners
• Know allergy to biomaterial, plastic, and non-absorbable fillers
• Mental health issues including neurological or mental disorders
• Malignancy or recently undergone chemotherapy
• Severe ailments
• Uncontrolled hypertension

The tightening effect usually sets in after 2-3 days of undergoing thread lifting and remains for 9 to 15 months.

The thread used for thread lifting is barbed or free-floating cogged, medical-grade, FDA-approved, and absorbable. They can be degradable or non-degradable. The degradable threads are biocompatible and can be easily dissolved by the body over time. There are different types of dissolvable threads available based on materials including PDO (Polydioxanone) which can last for up to 6 months; PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) which stays for a year; and PCL (Polycaprolactone) that dissolves in 2 years.

Yes. But, it is not recommended. Consult the concerned doctor to know about the possibility of reversal of thread lift treatment in your case.

Unlike a surgical facelift, thread lifting is a minimally-invasive technique associated with very low risks. It involves the use of FDA-cleared, medical-grade stitches by experienced and skilled doctor which ensures the safety of the treatment.

The price of a thread lift treatment in Chandigarh depends upon various factors such as the type of thread material, the body site where the patient undergoes treatment, the doctor's expertise, and the locality of office where the treatment is conducted.
